Candidate Kim Myung-jin Urges "Swift Trial and Attendance in Jeon Du-hwan Case"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Kim Myung-jin, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly from the Alternative New Party in Gwangju Metropolitan City, urged the prompt trial and attendance of Jeon Du-hwan at the trial on the 19th, following the reassignment of the criminal trial judge for Jeon Du-hwan.

Candidate Kim Myung-jin stated, "The new trial panel must quickly set the trial dates and ensure Jeon Du-hwan attends all trial procedures from defendant recognition and questioning to the sentencing trial," adding, "Despite recently engaging in normal activities such as golf meetings and the December 12 drinking dinner meeting, Jeon Du-hwan has been absent from the trial using Alzheimer's as an excuse, mocking the court, the citizens of Gwangju, and the public. The judiciary must demonstrate its firmness that everyone is equal before the law."

He said, "The trial of Jeon Du-hwan is a historical task to expose the lies of Jeon Du-hwan and his followers who deny and distort the objective facts recognized by the National Forensic Service's forensic data regarding the 5.18 helicopter machine gun firing," emphasizing, "This year, the 40th anniversary of 5.18, the truth of 5.18 must be revealed without any doubt."

He also urged, "The new trial panel must abandon a lenient attitude toward Jeon Du-hwan and ensure he appears in the Gwangju court to be punished."
